Odyssey Space Research: A Gold Sponsor of ISU’s 2024 Space Studies Program in Houston

The International Space University (ISU) takes pride in announcing a new sponsor for its flagship professional development Space Studies Program 2024 (SSP24): Odyssey Space Research. Odyssey was co-founded by Brian Rishikof, an ISU alum from SSP 1990 and an ISU Board of Trustees member, and by David Strack, an ISU alum from SSP 1992. Odyssey’s current leadership also includes another SSP 1990 alum, Jana Rebmann.

 

“Since founding Odyssey Space Research in 2003, our mission has been to make a tangible difference that exceeds the size of our company to advance humans into space. Sponsoring ISU’s Space Studies Program is a direct extension of this intent—training and inspiring the workforce of the future to make a big difference. We’re committed to the next generation of space professionals, ensuring they have the skills to turn today’s dreams into tomorrow’s reality.”Brian Rishikof, CEO and co-founder of Odyssey Space Research

 

Prof Peter, ISU Acting President, stated:

“I want to thank Odyssey Space Research for becoming a new Gold Sponsor for the SSP24. This sponsorship will help us deliver another exceptional program to our SSP24 Houston cohort. Having the trust of a space leader such as Brian and his partners at Odyssey demonstrates the difference the dedicated Alumni Community can make to help future space leaders”.

 

This partnership marks a significant milestone in the continuing commitment of the ISU alumni community to ISU’s space education and leadership.
